I tried the leather/vinyl repair kit you buy at Pep Boys. But after a few months, the tear is bigger than ever. Are there any repair kits that are more effective than others? Or, is it better to bring it to a professional upholsterer?   Matt Anderson (Disco01) Member Username: Disco01 Post Number: 114 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2004 - 05:17 pm:    I know 3M makes a clear duct tape that can be used for seat repairs, but I think this would just be delaying the inevitable cover/fix sometime down the road.   Jaime (Blueboy) Senior Member Username: Blueboy Post Number: 851 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2004 - 06:07 pm:    http://www.leatherique.com/   Bruce Philp (Creemore) New Member Username: Creemore Post Number: 6 Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 03:11 pm:    FWIW, I have a 2000, bought used and under warranty. I just had it in for its 48,000 km service, and I asked them if they thought that the driver's seat was wearing reasonably. It had a crack in the piping, and the finish was worn off the outside bolster on the bottom cushion... previous owner was very short, I suspect. Anyway, to the point: they reupholstered the bottom cushion under warranty. Dunno if any of this is relevant, but I thought you might be interested. Good luck!
